"I do" and all the foolishness that comes with it by dazednstoned

Summary
The Marstons celebrate their wedding, which leads to a proposition about their future.
—
She’s beautiful in any sense of the word. John had known it back when he first saw her propped up on the back of Nel II, her hair done up in a delicate chignon and her cheeks flushed from the heat and something else to match the heavy rouge painted on her lips. He knows it better now as he sits on an old rickety crate with the cold rim of a beer at his lips, watching as she shrieks and laughs.There’s a certain airiness to the echo of her voice and a looseness to her shoulders brought on by the drink, but John can appreciate it much the same. The white ruffled hem of her gown twirls around her in a flurry as Uncle spins her, the drink warming her and granting even Uncle some leniency. For once, John feels calm, and it ain’t only owed to the liquor warming his belly.
Mrs. Marston, he thinks, testing the name in his head like it carries an honorable legacy rather than one of bloodied fists and drunken Scots. Behind it had always been a line of angry men and down-on-their-luck girls, but Abigail carries it with pride and poise. John finds himself doing the same now that the Marston name is tied to her.

Summary
“You’d do this for anyone? If you were out here with John, or Javier, or maybe Miss Adler, would you offer your bedroll to them?”
“I reckon Miss Adler would shoot me in the face if I did” he says, deliberately avoiding to spell out the answer that Charles probably already knows, anyway. He would, always, without hesitation. But never with the intention of getting in with them.
“No one will hear a word of it” he adds, though hell, he ain’t sure anymore who he’s trying to convince that this is a good idea - Charles or himself. “I can’t just let you freeze out here.”
___While riding out together on a hunt, Charles and Arthur get lost in a snowstorm. With only one small tent and one bedroll between them, they don't have many choices on how to spent the night. Arthur admits some things to himself.

Summary
Charles stumbles upon Arthur working with a client and is invited to watch.
They discuss vulnerability, after, and find some of their own.
--
"I— really don't want to bother—"
"S'okay, Charles. I don't mind," Arthur said, a small smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye. "I know you like watchin' me."
"I-I don't—"
"Oh, he is cute. I didn't know you could find them this repressed these days," the lady laughed, turning on her heels and patting Arthur on his shoulder. "C'mon, girl. Your man will come and watch when he's ready."

Summary
“I know it’s a stupid fucking plan,” Charles agrees, because who else would he be if he also wasn’t smart like that, if he couldn’t read Arthur’s thoughts as easily as Arthur can think them. Maybe that’s another reason why Arthur’s in love with him.
And because it’s a stupid plan, maybe that’s why Charles kisses him too.
Or: Arthur can't believe he's in love with the bravest, noblest, stupidest man he's ever known.

“I got another job.”
“Lord help us.”
Rolled eyes, a sigh, a little groan.
Older brother’s smirk, satisfied. Too easy, always so easy, John was.

Summary
Charles was afraid of how far he might go to see Arthur back in camp, hunched over his journal with that tiny, well-loved pencil bringing line after careful line into existence on the page. To know he was alright, even if only in the barest form. To be able to sit at that safe distance, observing and hiding his smile.
“Oh, Arthur,” Charles murmured to the snowflakes, his breath swirling away like cigar smoke. “You damned fool.”--
or, Arthur tries to lose himself, and Charles isn't having any of it.

Summary
Arthur tries smuggling a kitten and puppy into camp. Charles catches him.
--
:Excerpt:
As much as Charles loved pressing himself into any part of Arthur; stomach, chest, arms, thighs, Arthur had strict boundaries when it came to some things, and Charles didn’t want to ruin any part of their relatively new relationship by bringing wounds up, so he didn’t mention the… additions.
Though, Arthur was gone for only two days - barely. It would take a lot for a man to gain that amount of weight during then. And localised entirely around the chest…
Well, as far as Charles was concerned, the more there was of Arthur, the more there was for him.

::::::::::::::::
"Would you take a walk with me?”
Charles sits upright and searches the man’s face. “You alright, Arthur?”
“Don’t rightly know. Just need to get out of here a while.”
“Sure, I hear you. Sometimes a man needs some time alone.”
“Yeah,” Arthur says taking a hand from his pocket to tip his hat and shield his eyes. From the sun? From Charles? “Yeah, time alone. Alone, but with you.”::::::::::::::::
Charles Smith is in love with his best friend. Arthur Morgan is haunted by grief. When Arthur needs to get out of camp for a while, he asks Charles to join him up at O'Creagh's Run to 'hunt'. Much kissing ensues.

It's all up from there.

Summary
Charles leaves a beautiful gift for Arthur. Determined, Arthur returns the gesture, and the two keep leaving gifts while Arthur sorts through his feelings.
--
:Excerpt:
Arthur puts the empty cup out of the way, and picks up an arrow.
The wood is handmade with precision, adorned in feathers of red and blue, speckled with an attractive brown, tickling the palm they lay in, soft and clean. How..?
This must be some mistake…not a single one of his belongings are of this quality.
Arthur glances outside, most people mingle in the afternoon sun, thinking someone must’ve left these here by accident. His bed is attached to the weapons wagon…
These folk have been living alongside him for years, and not a single person has ever invaded his space with their belongings, but that only leaves the impossible possibility that these are a gift…
And if that’s the case, who in their right mind would do something so kind for him?

Summary
:::::::::::::::
Arthur tells Charles he's dying. Charles proves him wrong. HEA.
Somewhere between Explicit and Mature as always.
:::::::::::::::
“I’m not saying you ain’t sick. But that doesn’t mean you’re contagious and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re dying. If there was something to catch, I would have caught it by now.”
“Charles—”
“You’re not dying, Arthur. You’re not.” He says each word short and slow, and absolutely certain. “You- are- not.” Speaks them into Arthur’s eyes. Into the universe. Like he can will them into being. And who’s to say he can’t? A woman in his mother’s tribe could make it rain.
“Okay,” Arthur says, smiling. “Okay.”
“You’ll get a second opinion?”
“Yes.” A brush of Arthur’s lips on Charles’ knuckles and the meeting of eyes. “Yes, I will. For you, I will.”Bookmarked by madeofflowerpetals

Summary
::::::::::::::::
What if Charles never joined the Van der Linde gang? What if Arthur lived?
Bounty Hunter (sort of): Charles Smith
Wanted: Arthur Morgan::::::::::::::::
Been three years since Arthur Morgan was left for dead on the side of a mountain. Having dedicated his life to the man who left him there, it didn’t hardly seem worth fighting to get off it. Thought someone, surely someone, would come back for him. So he waited, weary fingers dug deep into the dirt to ground him, eyes on the sunset, waiting for someone to come for him, to take him down the mountain, or bury him someplace. But nobody came.
